“Are you done yet?”Ilang ulit na niyang tanong yan. I am still inside the bathroom, putting on the damn pads.

“Aristaeus napipikon na ako!”sigaw ko sa kanya. I know it’s just hormones pero nakakairita na talaga siya.

“I-I’m sorry sweetheart b-but…..does it hurt? I mean you are bleeding so siguradong may sugat ka niyan diba? Like a wound that opens up every month?”napatampal ako sa noo ko dahil sa sinabi niya.

“A billionare who doesn’t know a thing about period blood. Wow.”I sarcasticly said. Lumabas na ako ng CR pagkatapos isuot ang napkin na pinadeliver niya sa chopper. And mind you! Nakita ko ang resibo, one pack costs a thousand!

Ano ba tong napkin na to? Does it fly?

He was patiently waiting outside. Ang kanyang swimming trunks na suot ay hindi na masyadong basa dahil kanina pa ito.

Lumapit siya sa akin nang nakita ako. Inaalalayan niya pa ako! ”Thaeus, I am not injured, okay?!”

He let go of me immediately. “Why are you so hot headed sweetheart? Nakakatakot ka na.” He acted like a child and pouted his lips in front of me.

Binangga ko siya sa balikat at kahit ako pa yung nasaktan ay umakto akong parang walang nangyari. I walked towards the bed and sat down. Looking for a comfortable spot.

“Maligo ka na para makapagluto na.” I teased him. Umakto akong nagsusuplada at inirapan siya. Mabilis siyang pumasok sa CR.

I searched for my phone and called mama, kinamusta ko siya at kinamusta niya rin naman ako. I’m really thankful na may mga nurse at maid na nandun.

Humiga muna ako sa kama at hindi ko namalayang nakatulog ako.

I just woke up because I felt someone poking my face. Nang bumangon ako ay nakita ko si Thaeus na malayo na sa akin at nakangiti ng hilaw. Itinuro niya ang kama at nakita ko ang mga pagkain na nakalagay sa isang mini table.

“Are you still…… mad?” parang tinatanya pa niya ang reaksyon ko when I smiled at him and nodded. Like a child, tumakbo siya niyakap ako.

“I was so worried sweetheart, akala ko ayaw mo na sa akin.” He pouted again and I pinched his nose. Parang bata pero kapag ibang tao ang kaharap, mas grabe pa sa halimaw.

I ate silently while he combed my damp hair. Nakalimutan kong suklayin kanina.

“What are we gonna do tomorrow?”I asked him. Hindi ako pwedeng maligo, this sucks.

“Well, hindi ka maliligo ng dagat. Baka magkulay pula ito. Yuck.” He even acted like he was throwing up. Ang arte.

“I know that! Shut up!”Hinampas ko sa kanya ang unan na nahawakan ko. He just laughed.

“We’ll ride the yacht. Sail around. Then the next day we’ll go to Greece.” Napabilaukan ako sa sinabi niya.

“G-Greece?!” I shouted.

“Yeah?” he has this ‘duh’ look in his face.

“Oh, I forgot. My suitor is a billionare nga pala.” I rolled my eyes.

“Yeah so as I was saying, we’ll go to Greece the day after tomorrow.” He smiled at me at nagpacute.

“You’re a simp.” I blurted out.

“What? Heck no!” he exaggeratedly shouted.

“Hindi?!”pinanlakihan ko siya ng mata.

“Actually, I am. Mali lang yung narinig mo kanina, sweetheart.” Bigla niyang bawi at nginitian ako.

I chuckled and finished eating.

I was getting ready for bed, facing the mirror and doing my night routine para sa face ko when he suddenly hugged me from behind.

He stared at me through the mirror.

“Ang ganda. Sobrang ganda.” Nakangiti niyang sabi habang nakatitig sa aking mga mata.

“You have a sweet tongue, Mr. Valdero.”

“Oh yes I do, sweetheart. Wanna taste it?” I curled my fingers on the thin hair on his arm and then pulled it. Napabitaw siya sa pagkakayakap sa akin at sinimangutan ako.

I stared at him through the mirror while he was still looking at his arm and rubbing the spot where I hurt him.

I realized something.

I am so freaking lucky to have an Aristaeus Ryker Valdero in my life.

And I plan to make him mine in Greece. I plan to make it official. I wanna own him.
